The typical top three of Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and Two and a Half Men were still at the top of the charts for the week ending March 20. Oprah was again in repeats for the week and gave way once again to Judge Judy for daytime supremacy.

Coverage of the life and death of Elizabeth Taylor sent the news magazines higher with Entertainment Tonight up 8% from the previous week to a 4.2 household rating. Access Hollywood was up 10% to a season-high 2.3 household rating. Though not in the list below, Extra was up 12% to a season-high 1.9 household rating and The Insider was up a 20% to a 1.8 household rating.

Why Aren’t The Simpsons on This List?!

While The Simpsons repeats are available nationally its ratings are not counted in the weekly syndicated ratings because The Simpsons does not sell any national advertising in syndication.

Please note that the syndicated weekly results are delayed versus normal reporting. While we get the broadcast and cable ratings for the prior Monday-Sunday period every Tuesday, there is an extra week of lag time with the syndicated ratings and these numbers are not for last week, but for the week before last.

–For syndicated shows which air on multiple days, the viewership shown is the average of all telecasts.
